State alcohol board to select liquor permits by lottery

The Alcoholic Beverage Control is sifting through more than 70 applications to be among the first to sell hard liquor in Benton and Madison counties.

Each of the 73 applications in Benton County cost $2,000. A lottery will choose 55 of the applications to approve for permits.
